EDWARD'S POV
Half an hour later and Emmett was on forty four, Jasper was on forty two, and I was (pitifully) on thirty nine. There was five minutes left of the lesson. The teacher was vibrating with anger at not catching who was messing around. We had the attention of the entire class by now. They'd even helped with distractions. I also felt rather ill. At one point Jasper had gotten so dizzy he'd fallen out of the window, but climbed back in before the teacher had noticed.
Emmett pushed his chair back to go for another point. Mrs Squeak whipped round and a wicked smile spread across her face when she saw him half stood up. Emmett's eyes widened.
"Mr Cullen, what are you doing?" She demanded squeakily.
Emmett panicked and blurted out, "Tu parles espagnol comme une tranche de fromage!" The teacher looked very confused. Emmett sat back in his seat looking proud of himself.
I put my head in my hands. "You speak Spanish like a slice of cheese. Genius Emmett, despite it being in French" I muttered. From his scowl, I knew he heard me.
Mrs Squeak gave him detention. Oh great. It's bad enough I have to go to the principal's office after school, now Emmett's going to be there too, Jasper thought. I gave him a questioning look but he just shook his head. Emmett looked thoroughly depressed.
The guy with glasses next to Emmett started to clap, and soon the entire class burst into applause for my brother's exquisite linguistic skills. Emmett's unhappy expression vanished and he took a bow. Mrs Squeak stamped her foot with rage. Jasper groaned.
"Emmett, you are so incredibly stupid," he muttered.
"I'm not stupid, I just get distracted. Hey look a squirrel!" He shot out of his seat straight to the window and stared as a squirrel ran along a tree. If he leant any closer the glass would break. I took the opportunity, stood up and span around. Sadly, it was poor timing. I hadn't been able to resist. Naturally, it was the exact moment that Mrs Squeak turned to tell the fat guy to wake up.
She was pretty much fuming. "Edward Cullen! You will join your brother after school in the principal's office!"
Wow, it's gonna be like a communal gathering, Jasper thought. Carlisle definitely wouldn't be happy.
The bell rang. "Yes!" Emmett yelled. "Haha! In your face Jasper! Oh yeah I win! Man I'm such a hero!"
"Ok we get the picture, now please stop before you mentally scar everyone in the room."
"Well, at least lunch probably won't go as bad as the rest of the morning so far,"" I suggested hopefully. Jasper gave me a sarcastic look to crush my hope. It worked. I looked down at the floor miserably.
"Can we leave now?" I pleaded. Emmett nodded vigorously and rushed out the door straight into Alice. He enveloped her in a huge hug that would have squeezed the life out of anything else.
"Um, Emmett, you know I love you very much, but could you please put me down?"
Emmett opened his eyes and realised that he had lifted her off the ground. "Oh, sorry."
Once she was safely on the ground, Alice patted his chest. "That's ok, I know you mean well."
He gave her a goofy grin before Jasper shoved past him. Emmett pulled a face and stuck his tongue out when Jazz couldn't see.
Alice wound her fingers through his and they stood with their hands together. "I've missed you," she whispered.
"Not nearly as much as I've missed you," he murmured softly, bending his head forward so their foreheads touched.
"BLEH!"
Jasper glanced over his shoulder, pulling away from the embrace. "Thank you for that Emmett," he snarled. Alice sighed. "Next time, keep your opinions to yourself."
"Hey, at least I do it in private."
"Private?! What about the time on the sofa?"
"And the time in the kitchen..."
"And in the car..."
"And on the car..."
"And in my room..."
"And on the piano..."
"And when those girl scouts came..."
"Ok I get the idea! It doesn't mean I need three of you to shout at me."
Jasper clenched his fists. "I wasn't shouting!"
"Yeah you were, you're shouting now!"
"I AM NOT SHOUTING!"
"Right that's it, I'm leaving," I interrupted. "Coming Alice?"
She hurried after me while Emmett and Jasper stared each other down growling. "I'm right behind you Eddie."
I groaned. "Not you too."
"I can't help it, it's catchy. And it's a lot easier than going 'Edward' all the time."
"But that's my name," I replied sarcastically.
"Yes, but it just sounds so posh and stuck up!"
I started to walk faster. Em and Jazz still looked like they were about to explode into a death match. "I'm not talking to you."
She was silent for a minute. "Edward?"
"What?" I snapped.
"Hah! You replied, I win!"
"Wow, now you're turning into Emmett."
She slapped me on the arm. "Don't you ever say that again! By the way, have you seen Rosalie?"
I shook my head, but couldn't help wondering where she could be...
